A strong supporter for the 3.5 mm audio jack in the past, Samsung may soon be forced to get with the times and move on to wireless headphones. A recent report informs that at least the flagship smartphone models launching from fall 2019 onward would not get the audio jack anymore, so the Galaxy S11 is most likely to come without it, while the Note 10 might still get one, depending on launch date.

No!! I only accept 2 C ports as the alternative.
Not that the tiny space a 3.5mm takes up is gonna fit much battery anyway, maybe 50mah, 100 max.

So much for manufacturers supplying what the market wants.
Put less features on their flagship phone, causing buyers to choose a lower priced one. Who wants a glass phone anyway. Is there an asian phone maker who has an individual thought?

Let the jack die already and move to a digital output - yeah, USB-C has that covered - and additional Bluetooth wireless option using aptx-HD/LDAC...  8)

My truck is a 2008 and has no bluetooth.  I don't plan to sell the truck for many years. Without an Aux/Headphone jack, how can I play my music through my car?  :-\

Through FM, there's been such a solution years ago. You plug a signal converter into the cigarette lighter which receives bluetooth and converts that signal into a low power FM signal which doesn't propagate much further from your car, then you listen through your car's radio.

Audio is generally worse than when using an AUX, though.

Indeed it is, but it's not like regular SBC comes close to AUX either, and I don't think LDAC and Aptx HD have made it to any car yet.
Another solution for that guy is to get a dongle...
